Because it evaporates fast if it is kept in an open area. So, it is collected in a closed receiver.

When we try to separate acetone from water, one of the processes is to heat the mixture.

In this way, acetone gets vaporized as it has a lower boiling point than water.

It condenses at 56 degrees Celsius and should be collected in a closed condenser outlet receiver so that it does not dry out completely.

Hence, when we separate acetone, it should be collected in a closed receiver.
